The GM and HC are going to run around like rats trying to save their jobs. They're going to blame everyone for this failure.
Not one of them will take responsibility for the way this team played tonight.

Again, when was the last time the Raiders won a morning east coast game? 1st coach to accomplish this will be Oakland for some time. Fix this already along with the penalties._________________

You guys are funny talking about 17th pick in the first round like it would've made a difference. Hue still would've been fired.The coaching will still suck. The Raiders will be in a worse situation with out Palmer.

No way its the 17th pick it would have been top 10 probably could have picked Claiborne. 17th? Really with Boller and Pryor? No way.

So what would he do to make this team better play 5 Positions?

No he would play one position and then we would draft a player with our second pick this year and hopefully fill 2 positions with great prospects that reggie has picked, and 40% of the problem is solved, which is progress, and progress is good.

Instead we are doing the same thing we have done in the past paying above average players elite money(Palmer) which won't get you very far.

Really? Who is taking them.... Mark Davis? Let's use our head for 1 minute. You really think Mark Davis who appointed the GM at the recommendation of guys like Wolfe and Madden is going to drop him after 1 season?

It doesn't take a genius to see that this team is a talentless wasteland and will take 2-3 years to just be competitive. They needed blown up and that process is about 20% complete. The honey moon period hasn't even started to this point for Reggie.

When he has the roster turned over in his image and he has drafted some higher picks that can be judged as 'franchise players' then the verdicts can begin to role in.

Right now, it sucks how lousy this team is. But it was inevitable. This season was about finding out which players they can build around. This offseason will being the process of turning over the roster now that they have resources to do so. But it will take additional years to bring it all together._________________

- Well, even as a one-dimensional team against a good defense, Carson can still play well. THAT is very encouraging. Let's just hope we get more pieces for him next season.
- WRs: Still LOVE this group. Hagan needs to make that TD catch and Bey dropped an easy pass but who knows if that's not due to lack of concentration after probably being down 34 by that point.

Bad/Ugly/Treat Like A Horse w/ A Broken Leg:

Everything on defense.
Brisel's false starts
The defense
Ray Rice not getting me the fantasy points I expected after watching Doug Martin make us look like a women's team.
The defense._________________

Has anyone thought of conditioning being a factor? I mean this has been the only game where we have either lead or been close at the half. Plus I'm pretty sure we've given up the most points in the third. Could it be that our guys are tired(in addition to not making second half adjustments.)

No. Something is logistically amiss. The Raiders haven't played well in a morning game heading east for a decade. They always come out flat. Always. This phenomenon costs the Raiders 1 or 2 games a year alone. It must be hard to find a weed guy you can trust on the road at 7 o'clock in the morning or something._________________

So you rather have a CB and Second round pick then the quarterback and most important position on the field.
In the last ten years the Raiders have had some good CBs and some great ones where has that gotten us? The longest streak of 10 losses a year in NFLs history.
You build a team around a QB not a CB.
Before you say the Raiders should draft one when was last time the Raiders ever developed a QB ?

You're right about doing the same we've done in the past and having the same results but it's not the QB it's hiring poor coaches.

The Raiders broke the record for the worst loss in the history of the franchise not once but twice this year and in between the Raiders got killed by Tampa Bay.

The coaching staff has not only not fixed any problems but they made more problems the defense,offense and special teams have taken a huge step backwards there's blown coverages penalties players not trying hard on special teams.

Do you realize that the ravens scored on the fake field goal, an a kick off return and the Raiders fumbled the punt twice.
If that's not bad coaching I don't know what it is.

With New Orleans coming in this week you think any of the coaches fell like they have good job security?

Yes, because there is not an irrational owner ready to blow things up because a poor talent team can't win now. Some assistant coaches might be mixed up, but the HC is staying Dennis Allen and McKenzie will get time to put his pieces in place on the field.

And yes, coaching is part of the issue. But coaches can't field the punts. They can't tackle or cover ball carries. They can't rush the passer or block in the run game. THAT is a talent issue._________________

Will we finally have a 1,000 yard receiver? Denarius has a pretty good shot sitting at 575 yards with 7 games to go, he only needs roughly 60 YPG. Myers will probably finish around 800, which is awesome for a TE that people had basically zero expectations from. Myers needs around 71 YPG to hit 1,000 which would be remarkable._________________R A I D E R S | 7 6 E R S

Not winning right now it's not the same as being humiliated on national TV they're about to break the record for most points given up in a season.
By your logic this is the least talented team ever in the history of NFL.
It's one thing for the least talented player to be beat on a play and it's another thing for them not to be lined up correctly,to have blown coverages, poor offense of play calling and poor defensive play call.
that's coaching
